mornington crescent

Fictional game played by Londoners of a certain background, intended to intimidate an outsider to their social clique. The aim to to pretend you are playing to a set of complex rules which are never explained.

Players take turns to name an underground station, the "winner" is the first to "reach" Morninton Crescent, at which point they enthusiastically shout the name of this station. If the outsider attempts to join in, they shout him down, giving a look of abject scorn.

It can be played on internet message boards, derailing a serious thread by posting a comment with the name of an underground station in bold. Then consecutive users will start posting otherwise irrelevant comments with more station names bolded, until someone simply posts in bold capitals "MORNINGTON CRESCENT"!!!!!

Saturday Morning 

This is the act of eating cereal out of a vagina. It usually takes place while watching cartoons in your pjs.
Bobby was partaking in a "saturday morning" with Sandy while enjoying a rousing episode of the Smurfs. He later puked it back up into her mouth. (puking is optional!)

morning glory

a mans 'early morning joy', often rudely awakening the wife, girlfriend or some slag they picked up a few hours before.
His morning glory was as appealing as his morning breath

lawn mowning 

The moaning and groaning you hear from someone who has to mow the lawn but doesn't want to.
Wife: Sweety, the yard is overgrown. It looks like a jungle. When are you going to cut the grass???
Husband: I'm too tired. The game is on. My back hurts. The grass is wet. It's getting dark. The lawn mower is out of gas.
Wife: Oh for crise sakes! Stop your lawn mowning and just get it done!
